We examined the impact of dose fractionation and altered MICs on survivorship in a neutropenic rat model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis employing the new fluoroquinolone antibiotic lomefloxacin. Once-daily administration of a drug dose which produced a high peak concentration/MIC (peak/MIC) ratio (ca. 20/1) produced significantly better survivorship compared with regimens employing the same d...

PURPOSE Macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) is a divergent member of the tumor growth factor beta (TGF-beta) superfamily. Several observations suggest that it plays a role in colorectal carcinoma (CRC). In particular, MIC-1 is markedly up-regulated in colorectal cancers as well as in premalignant adenomas. This study examines the relationship of serum MIC-1 levels and genotypes to clinical...

We evaluated the antibacterial activities of the crude methanol extract, fractions (I-V) obtained after acid-base extraction and pure compounds from the stem bark of Aspidosperma ramiflorum. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by the microdilution technique in Mueller-Hinton broth. Inoculates were prepared in this medium from 24-h broth cultures of bacteria (10(7) CFU/mL)....

One of the immunosurveillance mechanisms of the immune system is the expression of Major Histocompatibility Complex class I-related chain molecules A and B (MIC-A and B) on tumor cell surface. MIC-A and B are the ligands of an activating receptor, NKG2D expressed on the natural Killer cells (NK), therefore binding of NK cells to tumor cells through the interaction between NKG2D and MIC-A or MIC...

BACKGROUND Patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections caused by isolates with a high but 'susceptible' minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) to vancomycin may suffer poor outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine the association of high compared to low vancomycin MICs and clinical outcomes (treatment failure and mortality) in patients with MRSA infection...

q8h for various half-lives from 1.5 to 7.3 h, based on data from [9] and [10]. The A/T ratio varies from 0.5 h/% to a little more than 2 h/% for the AUC/MIC range 25–225 h and is relatively independent of the half-life of the drug. Thus, the results clearly show that there is no justification for using the AUC/MIC ratio to predict the effect of a drug for which is the dynamically time 1 MIC lin...

In vivo studies have characterized the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the triazole fluconazole. These investigations demonstrated that the ratio of the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h to the MIC (24-h AUC/MIC ratio) is the critical pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) parameter associated with treatment efficacy. Further analysis demonstrated that a fluconazole 24-...
